Cross‐Validation of Diet Determination Methods for Seabird Conservation
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.This study on the diet of the endangered New Zealand king shag (Leucocarbo carunculatus) compared the frequency of occurrence of fishes detected from the same regurgitated pellets (n = 191) using both hard parts and DNA metabarcoding methodologies.

Length-weight relationships for some important forage crustaceans from South Africa [PDF]
, 2000 The diet of marine animals is usually determined by stomach content analysis. Although partially digested prey fragments can often be identified to species level, it is difficult to estimate the original mass of the prey organism.

Retention Bans Are Beneficial but Insufficient to Stop Shark Overfishing
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 473-487, May 2025.ABSTRACT Sharks are among the most threatened groups of exploited fishes, comprising common bycatch across many fisheries. Management efforts intended to safeguard threatened species have increasingly focused on retention bans to reduce bycatch mortality. However, the population effects of such measures remain unevaluated across species.

Mitigating the effect of by‐catch on endangered marine life
Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 172-184, April 2025.Fishing gears cause substantial impacts on the oceans and their ecosystems, and many marine animals, such as sea turtles, marine mammals, seabirds and elasmobranchs, end up as by ‐catch. In this paper, the most effective mitigation measures were investigated for each group, taking into account the fishing gear with which they interact most.

Sustainability of elasmobranchs caught as bycatch in a tropical prawn (shrimp) trawl fishery [PDF]
, 2002 The bycatch of Australia’s northern prawn fishery (NPF) comprises 56 elasmobranch species (16 families). The impact of this fishery on the sustainability of these species has not been addressed.

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 316-330, March 2025.ABSTRACT Mixed fisheries exploit fish stocks that are heterogeneously distributed in space using gears that are not species selective. This poses a challenge for management as catch limits for less productive stocks constrain catches of more productive stocks leading to losses in yield and economic value. Decoupling catches of stocks caught together in

CELULAS SANGUINEAS DE SCHROEDERICHTHYS CHILENSIS (GUICHENOT 1848) (ELASMOBRANCHII, SCYLIORHINIDAE): LA SERIE BLANCA [PDF]
Gayana (Concepción), 2003 Ichthyohematology is a common tool in the clinic analysis of economically important fish, and used less to understand fish physiology in relation to the environment. In this context and because of the scarce information about the condrictian hematology, we characterize the leukocytes of the Chilean catshark Schroederichtys chilensis and determine the ...
